Trump plans mass firings of healthcare workers — The Wall Street Journal

According to The Wall Street Journal, the Donald Trump administration is drafting an order that could lead to staff cuts across various sectors of healthcare. However, the White House has denied reports of such a document being prepared.

According to the publication, the new executive order, which may be presented as early as next week, will affect the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other federal healthcare agencies.

 It is expected that a certain percentage of staff in these bodies will be reduced. The order mandates compiling lists of employees on probation who play a key role and must remain in their positions, as well as those who may be dismissed.
